was driving at mccarthy ranch and saw this,most people were doing good. a couple of you however crossed the street where there were no crossings in front of traffic, you are incredibly hard to see even with a headlight on, the couple of guys that crossed in front of my car didn’t even have glowy things on their wheels, you cannot imagine how hard to see bikes are inside a car at night, you need to double the lighting or more on most of the bikes. buy a decently powered headlamp, hell the walmart you peddled past sells a 105 lumen coleman for 25 bucks.

Alicia, thanks for bringing your unpleasant experience to our attention
I am so sorry that — by no fault on your part — you ran into to those jerks from our Bike Party event tonight.
You have a right to be upset and, I am just as pissed as you are at those sophomoric bicyclists who were way out of line in causing you such a distressing moment.

Sharing the road with other vehicles, especially cars, is one the major areas of focus for this month’s Bike Party, Your experience is proof that we have to double our efforts in this area. We just need to do a lot more work in this area.
I cannot express in words, the frustration and anger your experience elicits among the great majority of decent and law abiding bicyclists in the Bike Party Community.

We do our best to discourage this kind of silly behavior and, I sure wish those jerks were caught and made to somehow correct the harm that they caused. We are so pleased, that you and your brother got to your destination safely, but understandably, very upset.

Attention seeking losers. You make people with a real passion for cycling embarrassed. Criwding cars, damaging other’s property with no care or responsibility. Really a bunch of self-righteous pricks. Literally morons… You know these type won’t care either, not intelligent or thoughtful enough to even be capable of such…

Same as Alicia, ran into a group of total jerks riding. Way to ruin it for cyclists. Just came off looking like a large group of obnoxious wankers. You can tell some riders were “special” idiots who become aggressive around cars because they are within a large group. Disappointing. Even more lame giving a female like the above poster a bad evening.

you need to work on your riding guys. I was passing from Great America and some jerk tried to open my car door. then multiple people were riding in two lanes. the freeway lane was completely blocked (I was attempting to get on to the freeway and failed….) and also people were grabbing the back of my car because of my spoiler and trying to hitch a free ride. seriously it really pissed me off that for something so “organized” multiple people were destroying it… I’m only complaining because I had my brother in the car and I driving a classic car and I didnt need some people from a bike party scratching up my paint which is what happened tonight. seriously its messed up.
